Paintball


If you are wondering if paintball is fun or not I would like to inform you, ITS FUN! I played paintball a few week ends ago at Future ball. It is insanely fun. Dont worry if you are afraid of getting hit because it does not hurt that bad. I got hit by 3 at once and I was fine. One thing that you want to know is to buy paintballs with a few other people because you can get some better deals. For the first game you play you want to see how trigger happy you are so you have an idea of how mush paint that you want to buy. Also you want to play paintball on a day that its not raining because the time I went you could barely see because you face mask would fog up from the rain. If you are trigger happy you want to get some tubes to carry extra paint balls in so you dont run out on the battle feild(that is always a problem).One thing to remember when paintballing is that if someone sneaks up behind you and they tell you to surrender you probably should since they have a huge advantage and it really hurts if you get shot to close. To surrender or show that youve been his just raise your gun so the other team knows that you have been hit then peacefully walk off the battelfield. If you need to know if youve been hit just call over a reff and ask them to check you for paint. If you have been hit with a paintball but it doesnt splatter you then you are still in.Now I would like to show you some examples of the face mask you are required to wear and an example of a possible gun you could use.

About me

My name is Carl and I am 14. I go to school every day and it drags by so slow it isnt funny. High school is so much more difficult then middle school because of all the homework I get. Last year I could study for 5 minutes and get an easy A, this year I study for an hour to get a B. Plus i never got homework last year, this year I'm loaded with homework! I consider it unfair.

Soccer

So this blog is about soccer. I play for the Livonia community soccer club U-14 A team. We are in the classic 1 division in our league. We have three wins and zero losses so far. We beat TKO three to zero with ease. Novi Jags got beaten two to zero in the pouring rain. It wasnt even a competition to beat them. Midland Fusion got destroyed four to zero. It was sad because all four goals were scored in the second half. They had no skill what so ever. Waza B team was fairly easy, we beat them 5 to 0 but the halfs were 40 minutes long for some reason. We tied carpathia kickers 1to1 because we had a really horrible game. Carpthathia was O.K. but they were not nearly as good as us.

Last weekend we had a soccer tournament up in Lansing. We did very well, we came in second place. It's amazing we made it into the finals because we had a horrible record. We had 1 win 1 tie and 1 loss. But we got in anyways because we beat another team out in goal differencial. The trophy for second place was not what you would call spectacualr. It was fairly small and this thing in the middle spins for some odd reason. We have two more games this week end and I am really hoping that we dont lose so that we can keep our undefeated record.
